英语间接引语问题，高手者来

Answer 1

直接引语变成间接引语时，从句时态无须改变的情况
　　1）当主句的谓语动词是一般现在时的时候，如：
　　He
always
says,
“I
am
tired
out.”
——>He
always
says
that
he
is
tired
out.
　　2）当主句的谓语动词是将来时的时候，如：
　　He
will
say,
“I'll
try
my
best
to
help
you.”
——>He
will
say
that
he
will
try
his
best
to
help
me.
　　3）当直接引语部分带有具体的过去时间状语时，如：
　　He
said,
“I
went
to
college
in
1994.”
——>He
told
us
that
he
went
to
college
in
1994.
　　4）当直接引语中有以when,
while引导的从句，表示过去的时间时，如：
　　He
said，“When
I
was
a
child,
I
usually
played
football
after
school.”
——>
　　He
said
that
when
he
was
a
child,
he
usually
played
football
after
school.
　　5）当直接引语是客观真理或自然现象时，如：
　　Our
teacher
said
to
us,
“Light
travels
faster
than
sound.”
——>
　　Our
teacher
told
us
that
light
travels
faster
than
sound.
　　6）当引语是谚语、格言时，如：
　　He
said，“Practice
makes
perfect.”
——>He
said
that
practice
makes
perfect.
　　7）当直接引语中有情态动词should,
would,
could,
had
better,
would
rather,
might,
must,
ought
to,
used
t-o,
need时，如：
　　例如：
　　The
doctor
said,
“You'd
better
drink
plenty
of
water.”
——>
　　The
doctor
said
I'd
better
drink
plenty
of
water.
　　He
said,
“She
must
be
a
teacher.”——>
He
said
that
she
must
be
a
teacher.
　　He
said,
“She
ought
to
have
arrived
her
office
by
now.”——>
　　He
said
that
she
ought
to
have
arrived
her
office
by
then.
　　The
teacher
said,
“You
needn't
hand
in
your
compositions
today.”——>
　　The
teacher
said
we
needn't/didn't
need
to/didn't
have
to
hand
in
our
compositions.
　　She
asked,
“Must
I
take
the
medicine?”——>
She
asked
if
she
had
to
take
the
medicine.
　　〔注〕：此处用had
to代替must更好
　　8）此外转述中的变化要因实际情况而定，不能机械照搬，如果当地转述，here不必改为there,
动词come不必改为go，如果当天转述yesterday,
tomorrow,
this
afternoon等均不必改变。如：
　　Teacher:
You
may
have
the
ball
game
this
afternoon.
　　Student
:
What
did
the
teacher
say,
Monitor?
　　Monitor:
He
said
we
might
have
the
ball
game
this
afternoon.
除了真理，还有很多情况是不变换时态的，要看情况讨论，不知道对你有没有帮助呢？
